In a departure from its traditional print advertising, Specialized Bicycles is inviting customers to the “ride-in” movies. With the help of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco, the company has launched a new Web site, www.specialized movies.com, dedicated to films featuring various bike models. Because Specialized is such a hip brand, it made perfect sense to Rich Silverstein, founding partner of GS&P and one of the creative directors for the films, to have advertising that could be a part of popular culture, which these days includes YouTube and Google Videos.

Developed as part of the Ad Councilโs partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this โItโs Gotta Be Youโ PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
